FINGER RING.

Application filed June 10,

This invention relates to jewelry and par: ticularly to finger rings.

A general object of the invention is to provide a finger ring that canbe adjusted to fit various sized fingers and the adjustment means isentirely concealed from View, with the result, the adjustable featurewill in no way mar the beauty of the ring.

A further object of the invention is to provide an adjustable fingerring that is simple in construction, and is inexpensive to manufacture.

This invention also consists in certain other features .of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawingsand specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, refer ence will be had to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a ring constructed in accordance with myinvention.

Figure 2 an edge elevation th reof.

Figure 3 is a sectional View taken on line 33 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4: 4: of Figure 3. 7

Referring to the drawings in detail, reference numeral 1 indicates theshank of the ring which of course is curved upon itself in ringformation and terminates in threadcr end portions 2. The mounting whichin the present instance is shown as being of the gypsy basket type, isindicated by the reference numeral 8 and includes the usual dependinghollow arm 4 within which are secured spaced parallel apertured ears 5,adapted to receive the threaded end portions 2 of the shank l in themanner as best shown in Figure 3 of the drawings. Disposed between eachset of cars 5 and threadedlyreceiving the threaded end portions 2 of theshank 1 is a nut 6 which is mounted for rotation and it will be obviousthat upon rotating the nut 6 the diameter of the shank will be varied asthe threaded end portions will be caused to travel toward or away fromthe mounting 3, it depending of course upon which way the nut isrotated.

The nut is of substantially disk formation th c 1927. Serial No.197,904.

and is provided in its periphery with semicircular recesses 7 so that apin maybe in serted through openings 8 formed in the sides of themounting for engagement in said recesses for rotating the nuts as villbe apparent. v IVhile I have shown a gypsy baskettype mounting, it willbe obvious that other types of mountings may be used without departingfrom the spirit of the invention.

From the abovedescription and cisclosure of the drawings, it will beobvious that the ring may be readily adjusted to fit various sizedfingers by merely inserting a pin or other like element through openings8 formed in the sides ofthe mounting and rotating the nuts as above setforth, and by this novel construction. the rin ma be a) lied to the a yl finger and adjusted thereon.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages andnovel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to he understood that I may make changes in the constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, providedthat such changes fall within the scope of the appendedclaims.

What I claim is:

1. A ring of the character described com prising a shank disposed inring formation and having threaded ends, a mounting formed with openingsin its sides, ears arranged in pairs and disposed upon opposite sides ofsaid mounting adjacent said openings, a'nut mounted between each pair ofcars and being adapted to receive the threaded ends ofsaid shank andsaid nuts being provided with recessesin their periphery to receive animplement passed through the :side openings to rotate said nuts foradjusting the shank with respect to said mounting.

2. A ring of the character described com- ,prising a curved shank havingthreaded ends, a mounting, ears formed with said mounting and beingdisposed in pairs on the opposite inner sides thereof, nuts receivingthe threaded ends of said shank whereby the diameter thereof can bevaried and said nuts being arranged between the ears of each pair forengagement therewith.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
